‘Dovizioso wanted me on the team’ – Petrucci

With a smile from ear to ear, that is Danilo Petrucci, the italian who secured a spot on the factory team after several seasons on the Pramac satellite. The ‘police’ explained that Andrea Dovizioso was one of those who supported Ducati’s bet on its services.

‘Dovizioso was one of my sponsors, he wanted me on the team. Together we can create something others don’t have, which is a team that is really a team. Of course in the races is each one by himself, but we will be great allies to help to develop the motorcycle’, the rider said to the Gazzetta dello Sport.

It is recalled that the Ducati created two teams of development of the Desmosedici GP, one for Jorge Lorenzo and one for Andrea Dovizioso, since the styles of the riders are very different. In addition Petrucci has already helped in the development of the bike, competing with a model equal to the factory, so a rapid transition is expected in terms of adaptation.
